Bendigo Race 7 - Avard Civil (300+Rank)
AUNTY FAYE (4) was below best at her last start when 6th at The Meadows following a second place finish (30.57) there two back. Solid formlines coming through her last run. Can make amends. FRED THE FOX (3) showed strong pace early from the inside rail and stuck on well despite missing the frame, finishing fourth over 450m Ballarat in 25.86. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings two times from four starts. Cannot be left out. PEAKY COLLINDA (2) placed three back at Ballarat then out of the placings last couple but moves to box 2 this time where he has performed well. Expected to do much better this time. LES NORTON (6) should be thereabouts.

Has finished fifth at his last couple of starts, most recently at Warrnambool over 450m. Major threat on best form.

Missed the frame latest (25.86) when fourth over 450m at Ballarat in a Rank Limit - Grade 5. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed two times. Key chance and should go close.

Didn't make the placings last time at The Meadows (35.47) in a Grade 5, finishing a 8 length sixth. Has three minors from six starts from box 4. Looks a key chance on best form.

Was out of placings last time (19.91) at Healesville in a Grade 5, finishing sixth and beaten 3 lengths. Yet to win but has placed two times from this draw. Has ability and can sneak into the finish.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fifth last time out over 500m at this track. Hard to tip with any confidence.
